She will have to have the ticket re-issued in the Philippines due to how the laws are there. KAL did this for free. I would have her check to see where her local ticketing office is in the Metro Manila area. Amy had to go to Makati to do this. However, everything went as planned for her travel. Also, she will need too bring about 3,000 pesos with her for the taxes that the airlines don't cover. If she has any plans of leaving anything behind, she can always have them shipped to her new home at a later date.

reissued? I heard that rumor before but we didn't have any problem. I bought our tickets for ANA online thru vayama. I had to buy them separate because hers was a one way. Brought the printouts and they gave us our boarding passes.

It's 1,620 Php for the Immigration Exit Tax and another 750 Php for the Airport Use Tax.

reissued? I heard that rumor before but we didn't have any problem. I bought our tickets for ANA online thru vayama. I had to buy them separate because hers was a one way. Brought the printouts and they gave us our boarding passes.

I would have to say that you got lucky. Congrats on having her home with you.
